I would be much happier with larger icons and a slimmer progress bar. A lot of space is wasted by the vertical Menu with it’s too big font/space reseserved of the home items.
The skin really needs some tuning.

+1 on an improved home screen and I like the examples shared in this thread.

Others incl. myself have been asking for new skins. I only actually realize that Opacity is actually an incredibly nice skin once you leave the home screen. The media views are excellent! With some of the improvements suggested in this thread, Opacity may actually turn into the perfect skin!
